Berk Abdullahoğlu, Turkey Marketing and Sales Director at Seventy One Gin. Berk doesn’t chase summer highs, he curates them. A morning swim, a bite of something fresh from the sea, a Paloma in hand (or whatever the sun calls for). For him, it’s not about escaping the city – it’s about finding rhythm in the heat, taste in the salt, and joy in the in-between. No plans, just perfect timing.

Any remote Greek island does it for me. Or my little secret cove in Bodrum.
